Abstract : Focus on new functions and/or new discoveries in the regulation of phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases, functions of inositol lipids and their molecular species, consequences of a deregulation
of the phosphoinositide metabolism in human diseases and therapeutic perspectives

& some others to be soon confirmed. And of course short talks selected from submitted abstracts

Topics: Phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases in health and diseases and therapeutic perspectives/Phosphoinositides in intracellular trafficking and organelle communication/Focus on Class
II and III PI3-Kinases/PI-Kinases and phosphatases in metabolism and cancer/New functions of phosphoinositides, Phosphoinositides molecular species/Phosphoinositides & inositides in the nucleus and Ca2+ signaling

Please note, applications will be provided only to eligible ESE members, and on a first-come first-served basis.

Practical information :

The symposium starts on Wednesday 16 October at 4 pm The monastery of Mont Sainte Odile is located in Ottrott (Alsace, France), 4,5 km from Obernai and 30 km from Strasbourg Airport
(
see here)

There will be a bus collecting participants to the meeting at Mont Saint-Odile leaving at 1:00 PM at the Strasbourg Station and
at 1:45 PM at the Strasbourg Airport

If you cannot make the bus, a taxi from Strasbourg costs around 90 euros. Alternatively, there are trains from Strasbourg to Obernai (TER line Strasbourg-Molsheim-Obernai-Barr-Sélestat)
every 30 min starting at 15h40.Not all trains stop at the airport, but you can manage to go to Molsheim andboard the next train to Obernai.

IN MEMORIAM : JACQUES NUNEZ

Nunez a major contributor to our knowledge of the thyroid gland and the role of thyroid hormone on brain development and one of the founding members of the European Thyroid Association and of the Hormones
and Cell Regulation Symposium, died in Washington in February 2018. French, he was born in Tunis (Tunisia) in 1927 in a Jewish family of Italian origin. He began his career as a fundamental organic chemist at the Pasteur Institute,
then ,as biochemist, at the College of France, Inserm and finally at the NIH.The first part of his career was devoted to the biosynthesis of thyroid hormone and the control of thyroid cell metabolism. In particular he discovered
reverse T3, characterized the enzymatic systems (thyroperoxidase ,H2O2 generating system etc.,) involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. He also developed the field of the biochemical actions of thyroid hormones. He
then began a major research activity on the role of microtubules and microtubule-associated proteins on brain development and on their regulation by thyroid hormones. He described the changes in activity and composition of the
microtubule-associated proteins tau and MAP2 during brain development. During his stay in Bruxelles in 1982-1984, working with J.P. Brion, they discovered that tau proteins were the molecular component of neurofibrillary
tangles, a key brain lesion in Alzheimer’s disease. This major discovery led him later to further findings in brain development and in Alzheimer’s disease.A major, authoritative figure in thyroid and in neurosciences, a forceful
debater and organiser.Nunez will be much regretted.
